Vulnerability in OpenSSL 1.0.2 that mishandles the carry propagation and produces incorrect output. This issue was reported by the National Vulnerability Database (CVE-2015-3193).

Exporting a filter to nDepth with certain data string text values can cause data mismatches. This is because nDepth only supports comparing these fields to boolean values. For example, if the isThreat field may be set to a boolean value, but filter conditions allow comparing the isThreat field against the string text values 'true' or 'false', as well as boolean values true or false.To avoid data mismatches, make sure the filter is set only to boolean values true or falsebefore importing to nDepth.
